Title	Damaged Moisture Density Gauge
Event Description	An equipment operator backed up a vehicle (Bobcat) over a moisture density gauge at a construction project site located near the intersection of White Gate and West Clay streets in Saint Charles, Missouri. The density gauge was damaged but the gauge probe (rod) containing the source was inserted into the ground during the accident. The licensee followed emergency procedures and contacted their contractor to perform radiation surveys of the area. Initial measurements indicate that the sources are not leaking. Further leak tests will be performed on the damaged gauge. The licensee is planning on packaging and shipping the damaged density gauge to the manufacturer. The moisture density gauge is manufactured by Humboldt, series 5001 containing 10 millicuries of Cs-137 and 40 millicuries of Am-241:Be.
